Life at The Alton
Purposeful programming designed to spark joy, foster connection, and enrich the lives of our residents every single day.
Enriching the Spirit
"We believe that an active life is a happy life. Our activities program is tailored specifically for individuals with memory loss, focusing on what they can do rather than what they cannot.
